If we are to give credit to the accounts contained in these Papers, the obstacles which hither to obstruded the Negociation between Austria and France have been in a great degree removed, and Peace is likely to take place. The Negociations are now carried on at Vienna instead of AltenbUrgh.— Several Austrian Otfiders of distinEtion," among others; Prince JOHN of Lichtenstein, have arrived at Vienna. The terms - of the Treaty between Rus sia and Sweden , have at length been partially pub 7 lished ; they are most humiliating for Sweden : a vast portion of her Country is ceded to Russia, and she is to shut her ports . against English ships. From this statement;it appears that the Negociations have been carried:ott by Russia entirely under French controul ; there is therefore little reason to give credit to the accounts which have lately reached us from, the Continent, of a change having taken place in the politics of Russia. The French Minister. CHAM-• PAUNY, has written a long letter to the Atne rican Minister, Mr. AlcustrttoNG, upon, the sub . Jed of Neutrals, in which . -he repeats all the charges against the maritime tyranny of. the ' Eng Uh. die; .says that France wi!! raise :the blockade of England, if England will discon tinue, her blockade of France ; that is to say, if England will give up a measure.which she has am ple power to enforce, France, as an equivalent, will give up, ono which she could not enforce for' a mo ment. This Letter, which our Readers 'will find in anotherculumn, refers to one frona'Paris, mentioned' in our Paper some.days ago. We then noticed the uncertainty in which we were left by that communication; as to the exact . terms of the propositiOn said to have been' made by. France. It now appears that all .that the :French Minister offers, is to repeal the Milan Decree of .December 1807, if England will revoke the Orders of N ov . It, 1807. As we suspeEted,, the Berlin Degree issued by France in - November 1806, and upou which our retaliating measures of the 7th January and 11111 November, 1807; were founded, is still to remain in force. CRIptPAGNY'S Letter (as before) refers that Decree to our prior blockades of the French Coasts, alluding particularly, as we appre hend, to Mr. Fox's notification of 16th May, i 806, declaring the whole line of / coast from the Elbe to Brest, io be in a state of blockade. " says CHMaPAGNY, 44 .the blockade . of France . be revoked, then France Will recall her declaration of blockade against England, namely, the Berliti . . . Decree." It is; theret4r e; by no means true, as has been asserted in some of the Morning Papers that Fhiace has offered to recall ihe Berlin and Milan Decrees, if England will revoke the Orders of No-1 venter, 1807. We have not room for adverting more particularly to CuA MPAGN Y'S Letter, but we were in ba,te to set right the mistake of our cotemporaries. The French Minister repeats, with•his usual boldness, the state ment of the principles which, as be says, have re gulated BUO&APAaTES condua in respea to-NeU trals, which have repeatedly been advanced in de fiance of notolious fads.' Yesterday morning his MAASTY, Princesses Au ousTA and SOPHIA, accompanied by Ladies DAMER and CRANLEY, General ii'lrittoY, Colonels TA YLOR and Dasutiow, and Major. Patc..:, rode to St., George's Chapel, and:heard a. Sermon preached.by tbe I luu. and. Rev. Dr. MARSHAM. Afterwards they returned to he Palace. Yesterday her Royal Highness the• Princess of WALES entertained the Duke or BauNsvOick, the Duchess of BituNsvvicx, the Countess of EFFING HAM, Lady CHARLOTTE LINDSAY, and a select party at dinner, at her house at Blackheath. The. Aiemen frigate, now.lying at Plymouth, is to be manned from the 4metitlsi, . and made ready for sea. Each man is to have a new leathern cap, by order of Capt. SEYMOUR, with the word "Aiento," iv gold letters, in tront,.as an incentive to good be. ! haviour. His Majesty's ship Apedles, has captured and sent into Dover, a 'small French ship called the Pirix, laden with coals, which she brought out:from under the batteries of Etaples. General BttowtottGG is appointed Comthander in CLief of the Army in India. Admiral DRURY is recalled from the command of the Fleet in the Indian Seas; he is 'to be succeeded by Admiral BERTIE, who has the Cape station. The Russian flotilla, consisting of 15 corvettes, cutters, &c. which .has been 'gotne time in the'port of Venice, is now dismantling. The crews Ore 10 man the 'seven ships of the line at Trieste. ' A Gentleman, who arrited in town tram Sweden on Friday last, acquaints us, that the general scheme of the treaty of . Peace is well known in that coun try, and that the folioiwing aru the principal con ditions 1. Finland is to be ceded in full sovereignty to Alexander and his succesors, and the boundaries of the kingdom , to the north are, to be formed by Aland- Half, the Bothnian Guif, and the rivers Tome() and Muunio to the confines of Norway. 2. Aland, with its dependencies (opening a pas sage to the capital and territories of Sweden), is to be surrendered to Russia ;- but it is understood and agreed that no Imperial garrison is. to occupy that island, 3. - All English ships are to be excluded from Swe dish puts ; yet a qualification of this article is in troduced to facilitate the importation of salt and colonial produce. The operation of this article is to commence on the 35th of November next. 4. English merehandize and property now in the Swedish harbours and territories, are riot to be sub je6ted to confiscat ion. - It will be. seen that the second article exposes Sweden to insecurity., .\Vhe❑ 'Russia shall be the proprietor of Aland, it will readily be imagined hew easily .she can dispose of the' condition under '3, !rich she obtainS it. Any.pretended commotion in the island . itself; or any supposed exterior . danger from piracy or regular hostility; will supply.a ble apology for abandoning the terms on which she obtained this possession, and when it shall be, disre garded; the repose and the independence of the king dom of Sweden must be sacrificed. Marshal MACDONALD is mentioned in the Ger man Papers as, likely to be employed, in the event Of a Continental peace, to.penetrate, at the bead of a French army, through the Pusterthal into the Tyrol. This Officer distinguished himself in the campaign of 1800, by forcing his passage over the mountain of Splugen, in the South of Switzerland. The resignation of the Archduke CHARLES has occasioned, much dissension among the officers of the AuStrian'army. Many duels have been taught, and several of the noblest families in Vienna have to lament the loss of their relatives, who yielded to a false punctilio of honobr. Two' hundred and forty vessels, laden with Ros sian produce, have arrived in our ports—so that our markets will overflowi with hemp, tallow,,and other Itassian articles. The following changes have lately taken place itt , the Austrian army :—Radezky, who formerly served under Melas in Italy, is Quarter-Master-General - in the; room of General Wimpuir, with the Emperor, as'G-eneralissimo.—A Secret COUncil of war has been established, consisting of the following persons: the Archduke. John as Vice-Generalissimo, Bellegarde next to'him; Prince John of Lichtenstein, and Gen. Duca. The late, nine eerps of the army are now re duced to five, in the following rnanner:—The Ist (formerly Bellegarde's) is commanded by Fresnel ; the 20(formerly Collowrath's) now Holieniol.- lerti's; the '3d (formerly Hohenzollern's) now.Kle ; the 4th (Rosenberg) is dissolved ; the ,sth (formerly Archduke Lewis), now Reat's ; the 6ill, *formerly Hilier's ; the 7th, under Archduke Ferdi nand, as well as the Bth and gth, under the Arch duke John, are dishandeci.

In consequence of Licenses being within this week resolved to be granted to - import grain and „flour from France or Holland, there'are up Licenses 'and upwards, now in the Office of Earl or LIVE,R -, root. fur his signatures. • The following is a Correa,Ligt of the Number of Beasts, Sheep, &c. slaughtered iu London only dur ing the last three months : Sheep and Lambs. 346,629 Beasts - sa t ocso Calves J 3 ,475 horses, (died and killed) - ,2,657 Zt should be remarked, that in the last three mouths less are slaughtered than in any other . quartor of the year. Those regiments of the line at present incomplete in numbers are to be filled up by otlering bounties to those men who will volunteer from the militia regiments, and the vacancies so caused in the militia are in like manner to be completed by volunteering from the local Militia, or by ballot," the latter of which takes place, at all events, about February next. .
